Hi guys!
Maybe this is an stupid question, but I have this "problem" since I bought my phone.
With every other phone I had, I've always been able to shut off the ringtone pressing any key when I received an SMS or call... I can't do it with the Milestone 2.
I checked all the configuration options... Nothing. It happens with calls and SMS.
It's a Milestone 2 with Android 2.3.6.
Does anyone knows how to enable a button to shut off the ringtone? Or if it's posible to do that?
Thanks!!!
Try pressing the power button. Somehow that works for me.
Nope...

my advice is dont use ringtones or mp3 for your notifications... because the notification tones are used in SMS tones and the tone you hear when you plug your phone thru USB...
well for ringtone when you receive a call is your choice!
Which ROM are you using? With MIUI and CM7, at least on my phone, I can silent the ringtone just by pressing the 'volume down' button on the side of the phone.
Sorry, just read that you are on the 2.3.6. Try holding down the 'volume down' button, it worked here on Brazil Retail 2.3.6.

If I receive an SMS on just about every other phone I can hit the end call button and the SMS sound will stop; but it seems that on the XDA2 I have to put the volume all the way down... is there any other way to cut the sound when you are receiving an SMS?
If you go into settings/sounds and notifications/notifications you will see a drop down bar. You will find the sms notify function there.

No I know how to do that; but I want the sound to play so I will hear it, but once I get to it I want it to shut off instead of still continuing to play, it is like a 5 second clip, and if I hear it right away I don't want to listen to the rest of it.. make any sense?
Couldnt you use a sound file that has a short blip at the beginning then a long silence?
well of course I could use something really short, but I don't want to be checking my phone every 5 minutes to see if I didn't hear something especially in crowded places; I'm guessing that once the SMS sound starts it stops for nothing barring turning down the volume or putting it to vibrate?

I know what u mean. Just click down the volume "button" when it begins ringing. It is on the left side, above camera "button".
Satria
Do you mean to simply reduce the volume to nothing or does some of the ROM versions actually stop the SMS sound from playing when you click the volume down once?
For me I have no choice but to hold the volume down until the system sound is reduced to nothing, wait until I think the sound has stopped playing and then return the volume to the original level.
A real pain in the butt!!!
Yah I'm hoping a ROM version allows me to hit the volume down once or better yet hit the end call button like most every other phone to kill the sound once I know I've gotten a message.

Just one click and it will "mute" or "silence" the sound like in nokia HP when the sound was ringing. No need to reduce the volume to nil.
My ROM Vesion is:
ROM version: 1.03.00 USA
ROM Date: 09/24/03
Radio Version: 1.05.14
Protocol version: 1337.14
I think I know what you mean... the easiest way to do it is to press the power button
Cool that works

is it possible to mute the phone when it's ringing? it's qtek s200...
Sure. Use volume slider to silence the phone while it's ringing.
press the red button

is there any only one button to do it? just silence?
You want the phone to continue ringing but just silence it?
Because when you get a call in the bottom there is "answer" and "ignore". Then again if you press ignore the one calling is directed to voicemail or just hung up.
As far as I know thats the only way to immediately mute a phonecall, just press ignore.
And otherwise just use the volume slider when someone is calling. Or put the phone on vibrate when you need silence (which is also volume slider all the way down, or put it on vibrate via the com-manager).
thanks. you mean only way to silence it using volume slider when want to continue ringing. i don't want to ignore calling. the caller must be think i didn't hear the ringing...
hehe lol
Perhaps an extra program on the device would work. Inesoft Addressbook might support it.
Have it here somewhere, can check later today if it indeed has a mute button.
Just to say it more clearly: If you move the volume slider one time in any direction, the phone will mute imediately!
I think this was not understood correctly before - this is the one-key-solution you wanted, isnt it?
thanks... it works!!!
greetings everyone, I am quite new to the Herald. So please execuse me for asking stupid questions. When a call comes in, is there a button or shortcut option to use to shut off the ring without using the ring control slide/button on the side? I used to have a different pda which offered three choices when a call came; answer - ignore - shut off the ring... anyone, anyone? thanks...

there is still teh ignore button. not enough?
As papamopps says, you still got the red ignore button Then you can answer with the green, ignore with the red and just mute the ringtone with the slidebutton on the side
the ring
thanks friends, i thought the "ignore" option would send a busy signal to the user, thats how it was on my previous mobile. So I was kinda scared off by using that option. Sometimes, pretending that you didn't hear the call is better than sending a busy tone )) easier to deny the ignorance later on )
the ring
i meant to say "sends a busy signal to the caller" not "to the user". sorry...

by pressing the "commanager" button for more than 3sec it will go into vibrate modus. then the ringer is shut off. and it is only vibrating. it is faster then the volume slider
the ring
poppamops thanx for the help... since you are good at answering, here is another one... can you suggest a nice GPS map for Turkey?

Just to be certain: If you push the red/ignore button the person who calls you will notice that you did so. If you slide the button on the side downward the person just think you were unable to answer (it just keep ringing)

As elsatani said all you have to do is slide down the volume slider on the side of the phone... am I missing something here. The only phone I knew where you couldn't turn off the ringer was the Excalibur when it first came out. Due to the touch slider you couldn't silent the ringer. main thing that pissed me off when that phone was initially released.

Yes... When you receive a call, press and hold the volume key for 2 seconds and it will mute the ring
You may also want to check out an app. called Shake2mutecall..works for me.
thanks jas.
hahaha
feel so stupid
with 2.1 it was instantly muted so i thought something was wrong with 2.2
tekken i use flip4silence, it has similar features
I bought two X8 and they are facing the same problem. The in call
volume is low. I have to pressed the side key to higher the volume when making call.
After call the volume is back to low. That mean every time a incomming or out going
call I have to press the side key to higher the volume.
I install volume application to adjust the volume and it work fine but when I connect and unplug
the USB connecting phone to PC the in call volume become low.
Help..
